51. Nah, we aren't.

It's more a question of seeing who the real enemy is. Some folks out there want to damage the Obama coalition because they think that is the threat to their privilege.

Most of us for Clinton seemed to be more alarmed by the right-wing taking control of the White House.

That's my observation, anyway. And is it really a "revolution" if the only people showing up are from one demographic? And the unions aren't feeling it either?
